We're called wax carvers, modelmakers and even waxsmiths. Since the first metal prototype will be cast directly form the wax model, it has to be just right. Any flaws in the wax will reproduce themselves in the casting. Wax is versatile and lets you create very sculptural designs, like flowers, faces, snakes, etc. A lot of the jewelry you see for sale actually starts as a wax model. Clients typically are looking for a way to make their jewelry stand apart from the masses, with some original components, like clasps, or logo tags. Or they may need jewelry wax models for a new line of jewelry, including rings, charms, earrings, pendants and more. I can produce a single model or an entire line. It all starts with your idea.What is Lost Wax Casting? Lost wax casting is a great technique for making original and interesting jewelry components. Lots of jewelers use it to produce their own designs. The best part is you can use your original jewelry wax model to subcontract some of the work for your jewelry by having a caster cast and polish your pieces for you. The process is simple. In a nutshell, you create a wax model of your design. That wax model is set inside a steel flask and covered with plaster investment, leaving a funnel and tunnel to reach the wax through the hardened plaster. The flask is put into a kiln and the wax is "lost" as it's burned out of the flask. The flask is placed in a casting machine and the void left behind in the plaster is filled with molten metal. As a designer, you don't even have to touch a wax carving or cast your own work. Most jewelers send their waxes to be reproduced by a caster - a dedicated subcontractor who can mold, cast and polish your work for you. Mergie Mersky, Kate Wolf designs.

Jewelry manufacturer need a wax model maker who can create detailed carvings of excellent quality wax sculpting might bring to mind the image of a candle carver, but though I love carving and candles, the sculptures the wax carver makes are the prototypes for jewelry and miniature collectables. From the original image of the item desired, it is the job of a jewelry model maker to create a three-dimensional object (the model) in wax. Each item can take many hours or even days to complete the hand made wax models, every detail must be as clean and as perfect as possible to express a faithful image of the original design. The wax model is then sent to a castor whose job it is to transform the wax model into a more durable medium (metal) through the "lost wax" casting process. In that process, the wax model earlier made by a master model maker is embedded into a liquid plaster-like substance which in its curing, hardens around the wax model which has a wax "sprue", or "gate" attached to permit access of the flow of the metal and cast this master model in metal. This plaster is called the investment, and it is contained in a metal cylinder, or flask where the wax carved model is. After the investment has hardened, the flask is baked until the wax model melts away completely, leaving a negative space inside the investment. This is where the term "lost wax" comes from. A casting failure at this point will truly mean a lost wax, and the original will have to be done by a jewelry model maker all over again!

Finally, molten metal is introduced to the negative cavity in the investment through the channel created when the wax sprue melted away in the baking. The result is a positive metal duplication of the original wax model made initially by the jewelry model maker. Finally, when the original wax carvers metal model is cast, it goes to the jewellers who will clean it up any casting imperfections and smooth and polish it to the final shine. For production, the original silver model which was cast from the original wax model must be molded before going to the final finish. I am creating the wax models and I am a jewelry model maker. Many modelmakers "cold carve" their work, but I prefer to work with small additions. The motto of a decent jewelry model maker is that a good wax model should be nearly wearable right out of the casting flask... though at that point the casting has a sort of powdery matte finish that resembles sandblasting. These are the original wax models carved by the professional jewelry model makers used in the jewelry industry. The jewelry wax models are then cast in metal by the lost wax process, molded and reproduced as jewelry or sculpture. My work is very specialized, I do the jewelry wax carvings and I do them well! The casting and finishing is done by others working in their specialty. What is Wax Carving? Well, have you ever wanted to cast your own designs in metal, like silver, gold or bronze?
